Naturally Healthy Equine

Mixing 1 oz. of fossil shell flower with feed twice daily is enough diatomaceous earth for horses and foals. In climates with higher concentrations of parasites, it is better to err on the side of caution and add more DE into the feed. Diatomaceous Earth is organic and has no negative side effects. Proper use of Diatomaceous Earth may cause Veterinarian bills to be reduced by as much as 75%.
For horses in limited enclosures, approximately 2% of a horse’s total feed should contain DE. For every 50 pounds of feed, one pound of DE should be mixed in. The method of mixing the feed may be as simple as top dressing 4 oz. of DE to their bucket of feed or even emptying a 50 pound bag into a feed container and allowing the horse ‘free choice.’ Consider requesting your local feed mill to mix 50 pounds of DE to every ton of your textured pellet or feed.
Parasites come into contact with animals and humans through food, water, and air, which means that most living creatures are exposes to parasite eggs many times on a daily basis. Combatting parasitic infection through toxic substances designed to kill parasites through chemical means is both costly and an ineffective long-term solution as the animal will simply re-acquire the infection. Diatomaceous Earth is an excellent natural alternative to control both internal and external parasites in horses and foals.
As Diatomaceous Earth is ingested, it passes through the digestive system and damages invasive parasites such as worms which causes death to the parasite. The animal itself is not effected and the DE passes out of the body with no negative side effects. Making Grandpa’s food grade Diatomaceous Earth® a staple of the diet tends to keep the animal free of parasites and toxic chemicals, which improves the efficiency of the digestive system and leads to an overall healthier animal.
Excellent Fly Control
Grandpa’s Diatomaceous Earth® is effective at lowering manure odor and therefore attracting fewer flies. Fly larvae in the manure will have greater difficulty developing due to the same properties that make DE an effective pesticide.

How To Detox With Diatomaceous Earth For Humans.

Diatomaceous earth is a very useful and natural ingredient that is used to detoxify the body to get rid of the bacteria living within the body. It is a sedimentary mineral rock that is naturally formed by the fossilized remains of diatoms, planktons or tiny aquatic organisms. This dusty talc-like material is available in different forms and is used for various purposes. But the most widely used one is the freshwater Diatomaceous earth and is the only type that can be consumed or eaten by humans.

How does it work?

Diatomaceous earth for human use is a very common practice to detoxify the body from the bacteria that invades the body. They are used as a pesticide to keep the pests away from the crops. Naturally a little amount of this dust enters the body. However, in order to get the complete impact and benefit of this natural dust, the humans need to consume it in a proportionate measurement.
Though it does not have any harmful or harsh impact if the measurement is imbalanced. If you need to detox the body, you have to consume the food grade Diatomaceous earth. There are different concepts regarding how this dust works. But the most prominent and accepted view is that this dust has a negative charge, and the bacteria inside the human body have a positive charge.

It’s mechanism:

When you consume the Diatomaceous earth for human use, it will trap the bacteria into its skeletal system that is honeycomb-shaped. Food grade Diatomaceous earth is 89% amorphous silica. As it has no particular measurement, people can consume it as they prefer. Usually, a heaped teaspoon of this dust is consumed with a glass of water, twice daily, morning and night and in time to a tablespoon twice daily.
The strong negative charge of this dust travels through the digestive system and absorbs the fungi, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, pesticide, endotoxins, E-Coli, drug residues and heavy metals. Thus, it offers a proper detox to the human body. Since these toxic elements are positive in charge, they are easily trapped into this DE system.
Upon regular consumption of Diatomaceous earth for human use, a little amount of the DE will be absorbed by the body into the bloodstream, and it will detox the body regularly. If the toxic elements are larger, it gets cut up by the sharp edge of this dust. However, when you consume this dust, make sure that you check the label of the product and its direction of use.

Flea Control The Natural Way

Flea Control Get Rid of them Naturally!!!

How Does Grandpa’s Diatomaceous Earth® Work?

How does it help flea control? To us, as humans is a very fine powder but on a microscopic level it is sharp, this is how it works. once a flea come in contact with it, Diatomaceous Earth begins to make little cuts into the flea, causing it to dehydrate and die, unlike other products, Grandpa’s Diatomaceous earth® does not poison the fleas, so the fleas never can become immune to this flea control process.
Diatomaceous Earth, will need to be in its dry powder state to be most effective for flea control, we would not really recommend applying to your animal if they have damp fur because of a bath, diatomaceous earth will then turn more into a mud and not be able to catch on to the fleas, as well as it can dry. so if you apply it to your pet, and you give them a bath or they play in some water you will need to reapply diatomaceous earth when their fur is dry.
How long will it take to kill them? using Grandpas Diatomaceous Earth® for flea control, there has been some research done showing it takes 4 to 12 hours to kill a flea when coming in contact with diatomaceous earth, we recommend when you do a treatment, you leave it for 24 hours at a time, just ensuring you get as many fleas at one time as possible.

Before anything, make sure you are using food grade Diatomaceous Earth! any other types can be harmful and will not work for flea control. so if the bag does not say food grade, don’t use it. All of Grandpas Diatomaceous Earth® is food grade and you can trust it.

The best way we have found to make the applying for flea control easier is by using one of our E-Z Fill Dispenser’s.

If you have respiratory / breathing problems when air is dusty, you may consider wearing a dust mask while spreading Diatomaceous earth around, it could get pretty dusty.

Due to the fact that fleas eggs hatch about a week from when they were laid, for full flea control you will want to do applications twice within the first week (recommended). then once a week for 3 weeks following. Most people notice a majority of fleas are gone by the end of week 2, we recommend to stick it out for another 2 weeks to avoid a reinfestation.

1. To Your Pet

you can use this same flea control process with the wide verity of household pets we are just going to use a dog for this demonstration. Okay, you will want to take it slow the first time, to avoid wasting the diatomaceous earth.

Start at the tail of you dog.

You will want to dust forward against the fur of your dog really working the Diatomaceous Earth deep into their fur. (that’s where the fleas are located.)

Dust your entire dog, not just their back.

Avoid getting Diatomaceous Earth in their ears and eyes, only because it is a very fine powder and could cause some irritation.

Bone Saver With Grandpas Diatomaceous Earth

Osteoporosis is a symptom of the aging process. As calcium in our body system leaches, our bones become brittle and weak. Taking only a calcium supplement cannot correct or stop this threatening and crippling disease because the body cannot assimilate and make use of the calcium without the presence of silica.
Silica can stop arthritis pain and even restore the body’s self-repair process. For purposes of healing damaged bones, it is recommended that a sufficient silica supplement be taken daily. Silica is responsible for the depositing of minerals into the bones, especially calcium. It speeds up the healing of fractures and also reduces scarring at the site of a fracture.
Ant’s can be a very difficult problem to fix, but we have been told by many of our costumers that they have found success using Grandpas Diatomaceous Earth® to help them get rid of ants in their home.

How It Works

Grandpas Diatomaceous Earth® must come in contact with ants to work.
Ants, like many other insects, have an exoskeleton that has a waxy like coating covering it, keeping the ants hydrated. Grandpas Diatomaceous Earth® when very magnified you can see the individual Diatoms, which on a hardness scale diamond’s being a 10, diatom’s are an 8. To ants, the diatoms are very strong and sharp, when ants get Grandpas Diatomaceous Earth® on them it wears away their waxy like coating and cuts into their exoskeleton dehydrating them causing them to die.
No chemicals needed. Safe to use anywhere

SPECIAL INGREDIENTS
dac® Electro Aid provides a balanced profile of electrolytes for all mature horses. Electrolytes are electrically charged salts or ‘ions’ such as sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium which are dissolved and carried in the blood and cell fluids. As salts dissolve in the blood and tissues of the body, electrolytes assist in preserving the correct balance of fluids both inside and outside the cells. Electrolytes also function in the generation of nerve impulses, contraction and relaxation of muscles, the beating of the heart and processing of wastes, in fact electrolytes are involved in virtually every function of the body. An electrolyte imbalance may cause such complications as dehydration, muscle fatigue, reduced stamina, overheating, and tying-up. It is therefore essential that electrolyte supplementation occurs as part of your daily nutritional management practices.
Sodium and Chloride: Common salt (NaCl), which is composed of two ions, sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-). These are the major electrolytes of the body.
Potassium: One of potassium’s major roles is to maintain and ensure correct cellular osmotic pressure which affects the sensitivity of nerves and muscles to impulses. Horses suffering from a lack of potassium are prone to fatigue, muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, tying-up and decreased water intake.
Magnesium: Magnesium plays a critical role as a co-factor in over 300 enzymatic reactions within the body. Magnesium is also required for muscle function.
Calcium: Deficiencies of calcium in its ionic form may lead to muscle weakness and conditions such as tying-up.
Bio-available Trace Minerals – or chelated minerals are those that have been bonded to two or more amino acids. A mineral in this chelated state allows easy passage through the intestinal wall into the blood resulting in increased metabolism of that mineral. dac® Electro Aid utilizes organic minerals to increase availability and enhance absorption rates.
FEEDING DIRECTIONS
dac® Electro Aid can be fed to all classes of mature horses. The intake of dac® Electro Aid is based on work intensity and the amount of sweat lost from the body. dac® Electro Aid can be fed with either fortified or unfortified grains. Fortified grains contain added vitamins and minerals. Feed dac® Electro Aid at the following rates:
Maintenance (limited or no riding) – 1 ounce (1 scoop) per horse per day.
Light Exercise – 2 ounces (2 scoops) per horse per day.
Moderate Exercise – 3 ounces (3 scoops) per horse per day.
Intense Exercise – 4 ounces (4 scoops) per horse per day.

SPECIAL INGREDIENTS
dac® Formula Calm B provides a balance of ingredients intended to support calm, balanced behavior in mature horses.
B-Vitamins – are water soluble vitamins including Thiamine (B1) and Pyridoxine (B6). Thiamine is required on a daily basis and is essential for normal muscle and nerve function. Thiamine also helps to maintain appetite. Pyridoxine is critical for amino acid metabolism, red blood cell formation and nerve function. Both Thiamine and Pyridoxine are known to have a calming effect on the nervous function.
Magnesium – is a trace mineral that is an important ion in the blood, it plays an important role as an activator of many enzymes, and participates in muscle contractions. Signs of magnesium deficiency include nervousness, muscle tremors, and ataxia.
Tryptophan - is the amino acid precursor for serotonin, a neurotransmitter implicated in sedation, inhibition of aggression, fear and stress.
